Question 1 of 5

A group of students are reviewing information about mental health care after World War II. The students demonstrate understanding of this information when they identify which of the following as a result of the National Mental Health Act?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, Establishment of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), as a result of the National Mental Health Act. This is because the National Mental Health Act of 1946 led to the creation of NIMH in 1949. NIMH is dedicated to research on mental illnesses and disorders, promoting mental health, and providing resources for mental health professionals and the public. Choice A, Discovery of psychopharmacology, is incorrect as it is not a direct result of the National Mental Health Act. Choice B, Passage of the Hill-Burton Act, is also incorrect as it focused on improving hospital facilities, not specifically mental health care. Choice D, Development of community mental health centers, is incorrect as it was a result of the Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963, not the National Mental Health Act.

Question 2 of 5

A nurse in a hospital cafeteria overhears two assistive personnel (AP) discussing a client. They are using the client's name and discussing details of his diagnosis. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct action for the nurse to take first is to tell the AP to discontinue their conversation (Choice D). This is because addressing the issue directly with the individuals involved is the most immediate and effective way to stop the breach of client confidentiality. Reporting to the supervisor (Choice A) can be done after addressing the immediate situation. Completing an incident report (Choice B) should come after resolving the issue in real-time. Providing written documentation (Choice C) may be necessary for education but is not the most immediate response to stop the confidentiality breach.

Question 3 of 5

Which Western cultural feature may result in establishing unrealistic outcomes for patients of other cultural groups?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Direct confrontation to solve problems. This Western cultural feature may result in establishing unrealistic outcomes for patients of other cultural groups because direct confrontation may be perceived as aggressive or disrespectful in many cultures. Patients from these cultural groups may prefer indirect communication or conflict resolution methods. Therefore, using direct confrontation could lead to misunderstandings, resistance, or lack of cooperation from patients. A: Interdependence is a common cultural value in many cultures and does not necessarily lead to unrealistic outcomes for patients of other cultural groups. B: Present orientation is a temporal orientation and does not directly impact outcomes for patients from other cultural groups. C: Flexible perception of time may differ across cultures but does not inherently lead to unrealistic outcomes for patients of other cultural groups.

Question 4 of 5

Which individual is demonstrating the highest level of resilience? One who

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D because the individual demonstrates resilience by adapting to the loss of a permanent job through taking a temporary job to maintain financial stability. This shows resilience as they are actively seeking solutions to overcome adversity. A is incorrect as repressing stressors is not a healthy coping mechanism for resilience. B is incorrect as becoming depressed after the death of a spouse indicates a lack of resilience in handling the emotional stress. C is incorrect as living in a shelter for 2 years after a fire is a challenging situation, but it does not necessarily demonstrate the same level of adaptation and proactive approach to adversity as taking a temporary job for financial stability.

Question 5 of 5

A nurse is preparing a presentation for mental health promotion for young and middle-aged adults and is planning to address changes in family structure. Which of the following would the nurse include as reflecting marriage?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: - Option C is correct because middle-aged adults are most likely to be married, reflecting a common life stage where many individuals have already established long-term relationships or families. - Option A is incorrect because the peak marriage age can vary and is not a universal range. - Option B is incorrect as marrying in one's teens does not necessarily predict divorce rates for all individuals. - Option D is incorrect as there is no direct correlation between marrying between the ages of 23 to 27 years and divorce rates.
